‘The only thing we have to fear is fear itself’ once said Franklin D. Roosevelt, clearly he never dealt with Xenopmorphs…and Dinosaurs…and Predator.
The Inventor
“Your head is full of great ideas, use them!”. So I read from a fortune cookie when I was 8 and ever since, I’ve followed its homespun knowledge, religiously. Now I’m 52 and the people from the building where I’ve been living since I was a kid knows me as ‘the inventor’, although I’d rather have them call me by my God-given name: Eugenio.

El Inventor
“Tienes la cabeza llena de nuevas ideas ¡úsalas!” Eso me dijo una galleta de la suerte a los 8 años y desde entonces no he dejado de hacerle caso. Ahora tengo 52 y la gente del edificio donde viví desde pequeño me conoce como “el Inventor” aunque yo prefiero que simplemente me llamen por mi nombre: Eugenio.
Splash Panel Adventures
I read comics…
I read comics. I am a geek. I like sci-fi and I like superheroes. Tell me something has big robots in and I’m sold, tell me it’s got big robots beating ten shades of the preverbal out of something fantastical and not only am I sold, I’ll also buy things related to it. I’m basically a comic book stores wet dream. Well maybe it goes ‘physically impossible, super breasted, hourglass figured, Amazonian women in latex’ and *then* me, but I digress.

The Park after dark
The park, after dark
by Russell Palmer
Russ had sat on the same bench for hours, chain-smoking his way through two packets of cigarettes. His lungs were seemingly taking the brunt of the awful day he’d had, and sat in a not-to-safe park in the darkness of 2 AM, it seemed his body could soon be taking some of that weight too.
He knew that this was unsafe, but he couldn’t smoke at home and figured his day couldn’t get worse so he had let the darkness come. The most he could lose was some blood and his fags, and they were mostly gone now anyway.

The Great Dust Bowl
This story was written to this tune, Counting Crows’ ‘Sullivan Street’
It was October 1994 and I was walking down that dusty little hill in my high school. I usually walked to the beat of whatever I managed to cram on those TDK 90 audio cassettes, but I was running out of money paying for batteries, so the walkman stayed at home. No worries, my memory is quite good and remembering the lyrics while walking to the tune in my head is always a good exercise in memory.

Smiley – A short horror story
Smiley
By Russell Palmer
Russ and Dan loved Crazy Uncle Devlin. Their parents did not. It was always interesting when he came round to visit, like the time he brought his air rifle and shot apples from their next door neighbours’ tree.
A sixth form quality ode to Hey Sholay’s cursed tape
(with apologies to everyone)
Let me tell you a little story
in horrible sixth form heraldic poetry
the story of a horrid pink tape
and all the lives it ruined.
